Blandino is a neighbourhood Italian inspired seasonal bistro, bar, and patio that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as take out. Its name pays homage to Carmelo Blandino, a Montreal based artist whose work adorns the side of the building. Atelier Zébulon Perron created a nostalgic yet contemporary design that changes as the day progresses. The atmosphere allows for a comfortable corporate lunch meeting or a casual cocktail amongst friends. Come in for a quick coffee, a meal, or an aperitivo. Delivery is also available.
Globalement, Blandino reçoit des retours majoritairement positifs sur l’accueil chaleureux et le service efficace dans une ambiance agréable, avec une offre italienne revisitée et des plats souvent appréciés. De nombreuses observations mettent en avant des mets savoureux et une carte qui convient aux repas en famille ou entre amis, tout en soulignant le dynamisme du service et la convivialité du lieu. Des bémols reviennent toutefois, notamment un bruit parfois soutenu, un service qui peut être lent ou des erreurs de commande, et des portions qui peuvent sembler petites ou des tarifs élevés pour ce qui est proposé. L’endroit est fréquemment recommandé pour des événements professionnels ou des groupes, et l’équipe est décrite comme professionnelle et attentive. Certaines suggestions portent sur l’élargissement des options végétariennes et sur une plus grande constance dans le rythme du service et la préparation des plats. L’expérience est souvent jugée satisfaisante et incite à revenir, même si quelques clients attendent une meilleure gestion du flux et une meilleure accessibilité des tarifs. Dans l’ensemble, Blandino apparaît comme une adresse attractive avec des points forts marqués par le service et l’ambiance, et des améliorations possibles sur la cuisine et la gestion logistique.
Notre barmaid Philippe, il est incroyable comme personne, toujours à l'écoute & offre un service en or. Chaque verre goûtait le plaisir. Un gros merci, une première ici, mais pas la dernière.
Don't try to seat a middle aged woman at the bar to eat. The host was clueless & annoyed others with seating. The food was okay, but I'll never eat here again even though I'm staying at the hotel for another 4 nights.
Very professional & high quality restaurant/bar located in the Hilton hotel. Absolutely worth visiting. Shoutout to Audrey for making our layover way more enjoyable :)
We were here during Happy Hour. I Audrey was our server. She was such a pleasure to speak with, very helpful & lively! A kind & knowledgeable bartender who was a great fun to talk to, & phenomenal prices! I had so many drinks & a full meal, but thanks to Happy Hour prices it was only $60 for an early dinner & 7 cocktails. I would highly recommend this restaurant & Audrey as a bartender/server. The owner also stopped by to check on us. He was very kind.
Thank you to all the lovely the lovely staff, the owner & Audrey for giving us a great time when we were stuck during a 48 hour delay of airline & flight hell. This restaurant made is fun & bearable 💕
Il y a deux semaines, j'ai célébré mon anniversaire au Blandino. Nous étions un groupe d'une trentaine de personnes & nous avons été très bien servis du début du souper jusqu'au moment plus festif autour du bar. Mention spéciale à Ben, Philippe & toute leur équipe pour leur accueil & leur service impeccable.
C'est certain qu'on y retournera, que ce soit en couple, en famille ou entre amis. Je vous le recommande vivement!
It was so great being seated at the bar!! Jerry did great & made a custom cocktail for me that tasted amazing :)) service was excellent felt like I made new friends haha Ben the manager was also super nice & great vibes i highly recommend grabbing a seat & enjoying the evening there

Food is good, but service is awful. We called to make a reservation & specifically asked about the pizzas. No issue. We get there & get seated. It takes forever to get a waiter or to even have your water filled up, & when you do the cup is barely filled up halfway. Finally when we make our order, they tell us there are no pizzas left... Then there is a 20 minute back & forth between the waiter & the manager, & eventually the manager tells us there was a misunderstanding. We finally place our order & eat. We ask to take some of the food to go & they end up giving us the wrong food. Nobody ever apologized or tried to make it right for us despite all the issues. I don't blame the waiters - it's clearly poorly managed. The manager never even looked at us. Waiters kept telling us the kitchen & manager are fighting. Just terrible service.

Felipe was the best bartender EVERRRRR! He was fast knowledgeable & made our experience so much better!!! Pepe was soooooo fun!!! We'll be back for him tomorrow. He's a manager & bartender catch him on the floor!!!!
Lovely place. Bright & airy. Bar looks great. Thought that on a Saturday at noon they would offer a brunch menu but it was only lunch which was disappointing. Italian type fare which was a good but nothing exceptional. Service was great. Good for large parties.
Went there for lunch. Had the Blandino pizza, to greasy to my taste. The vegetarian pizza did not smell good, we could not figure out if the artichokes just smelled unusual or were actually bad. The flap steak seemed good, I regret not taking that. We had ordered fried calamari as appetizer, one for each table. Without asking, they brought them at the same time as the main course, & they only brought one. They said they did this because not everyone had ordered appetizers. But we had clearly said it was for sharing. & the calamari were cold, so they were clearly ready long before. We got the second order of calamari at the end of the meal. But those were good, they were hot. My daughter had a burger, very good too. We had drinks at the beginning, the service was erratic. We got two sets of drinks but me & my daughter were still waiting for our drinks. Her drink was sitting on the bar for 10 minutes until they got my drink prepared & brought the two together.
I rated 4 for the atmosphere but it's hard to tell, we were almost alone in the restaurant.
Nice food & nice ambiance however a couple of minor things soured my experience. 1) the absolutely unnecessarily loud music. I get it, the staff were feeling festive but this was too much. My dining partner & myself were barely able to hear each other & had to keep shouting. 2) I requested a slice of tomato to be added to my Burger & they made a big fuss about how they cannot do that & then said... they don't have tomatoes (really? in an Italian restaurant?). 2 silly reasons to ruin what otherwise could have been a much better experience.
The two bartenders working together behind the bar were on top of a busy night. The customer service is Superb! the waiter/bartender took my order in a nice. She offered me still or sparkling water; I chose Sparkling water. Next, I ordered the Caesar's Salad; very tasty! I ordered the personal pizza with pepperoni. It was Great! I drank a glass of Prosecco & switched to the craft beer on Tap; nice & smooth beer. I felt compelled to order dessert & Cappuccino; mainly because I never get it with a meal, I chose the Strawberry cheesecake! Fantastic! My Cappuccino was hot & delicious! I finished my night out with another beer. Lastly, my check was given to me asap (about 5 mins).
Très beau restaurant qui offre un menu intéressant & surtout, de délicieuses pizzas au four. Il faut demander d'être assis au bar face à la cour intérieure. Le service est très bon & l'accueil est chaleureux.
Excellent endroit ! Les pâtes aux champignons étaient délicieuses ! Mon conjoint a bien aimé sa salade César au poulet. Nous étions assis au bar & le service de Dayton était parfait ! Je recommande l'endroit !
